  1. Why does microsoft store think I'm a minor that needs parental permission to purchase?


    Couldn't find a solution on this online and I'm getting really frustrated. I went to purchase ibispaint on my laptop and microsoft store blocked it because it thinks I'm underage, even though my age is right on my account and I was able to purchase the programm before with no issues. It tells me I need parental permission. How do I make this go away? I am 26, very much not a minor lol

    :)

    My microsoft store will not let me open or download any apps without parental permission but my account has no parental permission restrictions, how do I fix this?

    Inherit permission from the parent folder in Windows Server 2012R2

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you want the child folder to inherit the permissions from the parent folder. You can try the following steps and check if that helps:

    1. Right click on the folder to which you want to provide permission.
    2. Click on Security tab.
    3. Click on Advanced.
    4. Click on Enable Inheritance and.
    5. Click on Apply and OK.

    If that doesn’t help, as you are using Windows Server 2012R2, I would suggest you to post your query in
    TechNet forums, where we have support professionals who
    are well equipped with the knowledge on Windows Server.

    Hope it helps.
